On the screen is a female singer dressed in a gorgeous peacock costume, singing wildly and unrestrainedly.
"The name 'Peacock Spreads Its Flame' is truly fitting," Xu Yanyu couldn't help but praise.
Not only does she sing well, but her stage presence is also very confident and exuberant.
He's obviously someone who frequently performs on stage, and he's probably done hundreds, if not thousands, of concerts.
The King of Singers truly deserves the title; one cannot become the King of Singers without real talent.
"But it's still lacking in emotional expression."
Xu Yanyu has a discerning ear, and she immediately noticed the flaws in the peacock's self-aggrandizing performance.
"I wonder who has the most votes, her or Li Zishu." Li Zishu has 381 votes, which is the highest among the contestants whose votes have been announced so far.
The peacock on the stage sways and moves slowly.
"Leaping through the woods, gently touched by the afternoon sun."
"Walking on the grassland, the morning glow is dazzling..."
She opened her arms and sang more freely.
In the control room, the assistant director nervously watched the big screen. "Li Zishu's singing skills can't compare to Kongque Zizhaoyao's!"
He was holding an A4 sheet of paper in his hand, which was the program schedule and had been crumpled up by him.
Director Zhou pushed up his glasses and said, "Cui Xuerui is a queen of pop. How many people in the music industry can sing as well as her?"
Cui Xuerui is the one singing "The Peacock Shows Off" on stage.
The assistant director disagreed, saying, "Not necessarily."
He has great confidence in Min Zishang's new song.
Director Zhou snatched the program schedule from the assistant director's hand.
He glanced at the program schedule and continued, "Xu Yanyu is about to go on stage. Have the staff remind her. Xu Yanyu didn't bring an assistant, so our staff need to pay extra attention."
After Cui Xuerui left the stage, Xu Yanyu's door was knocked on again.
"Come in!" Xu Yanyu looked away from the screen.
Xiao Lu walked in. "Teacher, next up is the Rose with Thorns. Please come backstage with me to prepare."
On the screen, a female singer wearing a fiery red tulle dress appeared. Her dress was exquisite and beautiful, with a wide skirt that cascaded to the ground like rose petals.
Xu Yanyu stood up from the sofa, straightened her clothes, and followed Xiao Lu backstage.
Love is a fire, fiery and captivating.
"My heart is burning, my love is scalding hot."
...
A somewhat high-pitched female voice reached Xu Yanyu's ears.
The thorny rose actually sang pop music; she's learned her lesson.
The key was a bit too high, and the transition from bel canto to pop singing style was a bit stiff.
Not only Xu Yanyu noticed this problem, but the mentors sitting on the stage also discussed it.
"The thorny rose was unwilling to accept second place. She finally realized that singing bel canto was a disadvantage, so she switched to pop songs. However, the effect was not ideal."
Wei Li sighed and shook his head. A thorny rose is no match for her previous bel canto singing.
Kong Liang, however, said, "Actually, she sang very well this time. If we judge from a professional perspective, we can definitely find problems."
Kong Liang is a teacher at the music academy, so his perspective on issues is more comprehensive.
They are also more tolerant of the evaluations of the contestants.
Fu Zishan, who wasn't a professional, froze halfway through her nodding.
She originally shared the same opinion as teacher Kong Liang, feeling that The Rose with Thorns sang better this time than before.
But what Teacher Kong Liang said later was that her appreciation level was very average and she couldn't distinguish between good and bad.
"Haha, that's true. It depends on whether the audience buys into it." Zhang Yinghao agreed with Kong Liang's words.
The audience was clearly very receptive; they didn't have many ulterior motives.
Hearing "The Rose with Thorns" sing a song that suited my taste, I thought she sang it quite well this time.
Previously, when "The Thorny Rose" came in second place, many viewers suspected that the show had rigged the competition.
Having heard it firsthand today, I can attest that the thorny rose is indeed very strong.
The song on stage was about to end, and the mentors on the podium had long since remained quiet, savoring the song.
After the song was finally finished, the mentors shared their thoughts.
Perhaps influenced by Kong Liang's words, Fu Zishan also gave high praise to the thorny rose.
Wei Li was a little unhappy to see that no one was on his side.
When it was his turn to give his remarks, he excitedly clapped and shouted, "The program invited us professionals to come up and judge because they hope that we can explain from a professional perspective and let the audience understand what beauty is."
If we blindly follow the audience's lead just because they like it, what's the point of inviting us on stage?
I still stand by my opinion: The Thorny Rose performed terribly this time! Even worse than the previous two episodes!
Kong Liang's expression darkened slightly, and he also picked up the microphone, refuting Wei Li without any politeness.
"I think people who dare to try new things and step out of their comfort zone deserve praise."
The thorny rose is wonderful for identifying problems and trying to overcome them. I must vote for her!
Zhang Yinghao, standing next to him, was mentally calculating the votes, trying to figure out who to vote for to ensure Min Zishang would win the title of King of Singers.
In the control room, Director Zhou noticed the situation of the mentors on the stage.
He turned to the staff member next to him and said, "Set up another camera for the stage, there's something going on over there! Remember to include that scene in the post-production editing."
"Yes, record it clearly, make sure to capture Wei Li's expression! And don't forget Kong Liang's either."
"It's good that the mentors have disagreements; disagreements make our show more interesting."
Following Director Zhou's words, the assistant director stood up and walked behind the person in charge of the task to supervise.
